DeliaChristina, 
It has been a year since I adopted Benson, so I'm all in my feels about what I've been learning about being a Dog Mom.
He woke up from his morning nap about an hour ago and I took a break from work to see what he wanted: affection, snacks, a walk, play, what?
And he told me. He rubbed against me a little bit, so I gave him some affection until he got tired of it.
Then he was ready for some play, so I gave him his squeaky sunflower, and he chased that a little before settling in to chew on it for a while.
Then he came back for more rubs. And I gave him a good brushing. He loved this.
He went back to his sunflower. I went back to work.
Then he climbed on the couch, and he's napping again.
He got all his dog needs met.
